In four decades, Summit has transformed itself from a local New York City-based firm to one of the largest security and investigative services firms in the U.S., offering a broad array of security, investigative, background screening, aviation security, executive protection, and due diligence services to Fortune 500 companies, top universities, major airlines and public agencies.
Summit was founded on August 23, 1976, and led for over two-and-a-half decades by the late Richard Auletta, a highly decorated New York City Police Department Detective. Under his visionary leadership, the company grew, opening offices throughout New York metropolitan area. In 1989, Richard was joined by his sons Robert Auletta and Nicholas Auletta, who succeeded their father as co-presidents of the company in 2002. Continuing their father’s commitment to organic growth and client satisfaction, and drawing on their own backgrounds in law enforcement and business, they forged durable partnerships between Summit and its growing list of high-profile clients.
Today, Summit has offices on both East and West coasts and has become a leader in the security and investigations industry. Summit’s success has won the attention of leading media publications. This year, Forbes ranked Summit #164 among 250 companies included in its “America’s Best Midsize Employers” list. The rankings were determined by an analysis of responses to an independent survey of more than 30,000 U.S. employees of large and midsize organizations, conducted by Forbes and Statista. In recent years, Summit has also been included on Inc. Magazine’s prestigious 5000 list, an annual ranking of the top 5000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S., based on revenue growth.
“Summit’s success is attributable to its founding principles: responsive client service, dedication to duty, and recruiting and retaining the best people,” said co-president Robert Auletta. “Summit keeps its promises and upholds its values, every day.”
The U.S. government’s General Services Administration (GSA) has also recognized Summit’s financial stability, exemplary performance, and transparent pricing by naming the company a GSA Approved Security Provider, certified by the federal government to provide security services to federal government agencies in 13 states, including New York, California and Texas, as well as Washington, D.C.
